For the predecessor of the Baur convertiblized BMW 318i we featured as a Find of the Day exactly one year ago today, we turn to this 1975 BMW 2002 Baur convertible for sale on Hemmings.com, which coincidentally sports some E30 wheels. Yet another excellent car to rock up and down the PCH. From the seller’s description:

Very rare, less than 2,000 made and only a few in the U.S. mint hreen with black top and interior, 4-speed, extremely original except Recaro front seats, E30 iS basketweave wheels and Alpine CD stereo. Excellent dash pad, door panels, and removable hardtop. Good folding rear window and boot cover. Import documents from 1982 included with sale. Nice original paint. Original (but torn) front seats included. Just out of extended storage, runs and drives strong, but will need some mechanical attention; carburetor rebuild and water pump leak. Numbers matching engine, good compressions. Clean California title and current CA registration.

I’ve been looking at collecting one of these, lately! How did you know this is what I wanted? Give it up! I want it, I want it… These cars are sweet and fast! I could have bought one cheaply back in ’93, but the motor was shot. It would have needed a rebuild! Is this one for sale? Let me know. Robert T.
